TRAVERSE AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE IN KENTUCKY TOURISM

Each year, the Kentucky Travel Industry Association invites members to enter the Traverse Awards for Excellence in Kentucky Tourism competition, where travel and tourism professionals are honored and recognized for talent, creativity and effectiveness.

For recipients, the awards represent a way for hard working individuals and teams to receive the recognition they deserve, and for the communities in which recipients are located, to better understand and appreciate the work of the travel and tourism industry and the professionals who comprise it.

Winners for the 2024 awards were announced during the 2024 Kentucky Travel Industry Annual Conference in Covington on Thursday, November 14.
